Plans of Management (POM) categorise land, authorise leases or licenses and determine what development can take place. The key values of the land and its purpose are identified so they can be protected and enhanced. Council ensures public consultation happens for plans of management before they are adopted.
Red Hill & Golden Grove Parks Plan of Management
The 17 hectare Red Hill and Golden Grove Parks are located within Beacon Hill. The area is valued for its natural bushland setting and passive recreational opportunities.
The Plan of Management identified the recently filled quarry at Red Hill Park as an area to be developed for passive recreation. The development of the park area was carried out in accordance with the adopted Plan of Management and was officially opened in June 2001. The once denuded landscape now includes a grassed meadow, dry creek bed and raised areas to take in the 360º views of the surrounding landscape. The environmental values of the parks are also significant with the presence of Duffy's Forest Vegetation Community - a community listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act.
